The Veeam + Quantum Advantage
The cost and complexity
of VM protection has kept many IT departments from enjoying the
full benefits of a virtualized environment. The combination of
Veeam Backup & Replication™ software with Quantum's storage
solutions maximizes data availability, enabling files to be
restored in just seconds and VMs to be restored in minutes while
reducing both on-premise and disaster recovery (DR) site backup
storage costs compared to traditional backup applications. This
combination also shortens backup windows and dramatically
simplifies VM backups.
Complementary Solutions
Veeam Availability Suite™
combines the award-winning data protection and virtualization
management capabilities of Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam
ONE™ for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. Quantum's tiered
storage portfolio of hybrid storage, deduplication appliances,
object storage and tape provides a complement to the capabilities
Veeam has introduced with Veeam Availability Suite v8 and the
upcoming release of Veeam Availability Suite v9 later this year.
This combination is designed to deliver customized data
availability solutions to address the cost and performance needs of
customer implementations at three levels:
- Enterprise customers can adopt tiered backup storage solutions
that leverage Quantum DXi® deduplication appliances and
use tape for long-term data retention to meet compliance and
regulatory requirements.
- For remote sites, customers can deploy a 100 percent virtual
backup and DR solution with flexible replication options using
Quantum's DXi V-Series virtual deduplication appliances.
- Customers choosing to leverage Veeam's software-based
deduplication can deploy Quantum QXS hybrid storage for fast
backups.
Quantum will showcase joint solutions with Veeam at VMworld
2015, Aug. 30-Sept. 3, in
San Francisco (booth #729); at
VMworld 2015 Europe, Oct. 12-15, in
Barcelona; and at VeeamON 2015,
Oct. 26-29, in Las Vegas.

"The nature of
backup in the data center is changing, and companies are moving

their backup and DR costs."
